From starting to run games at age 11, to running a weekly home game for professional wrestlers, Daisy has worlds of experience in D&D and other systems, and shares a ton of tactics, strategies, and resources during the episode.

The Hidden Roles podcast is a weekly resource for dungeon masters, game masters, and storytellers for Dungeons & Dragons and all TTRPG systems. Each week, a guest DM let's you take a look at their side of the screen, revealing their tricks, strategies, and tactics for running a game, building a world, setting a mood, modding rules, and keeping their players engaged. This is for all dungeon masters, new and experienced.  All are welcome.

In our premiere episode, we talk to Jordan of Lionhead Gaming about how to be confident as a Dungeon Master. He was rolling Nat 20s all night on his Wisdom checks and dropping some knowledge bombs. Show notes/transcription is available at https://www.hiddenrolespodcast.com
